Being a massive fan of Judge Dredd, any one of the case files collection makes for thrilling reading. 29 in the case files is as startling as any other. I would recommend the entire series if you've got the time but the fascinating angle on them is that they reveal how impressive writers such as John Wagner and Alan Grant are and have always been. I was massively impressed at how quickly this item was delivered and the case files go into details that reveal that Judge Dredd is unspeakably cool. Thank you for this retro discovery.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great end of an era stuff from Original Dredd writer Wagner and Frendz
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 March 2023
As you’re looking at Judge Dredd Case Files volume 29, you’re probably not here by accident and you just want to know if it’s worth buying. Which it is.

It’s packed with solid, old-school stories, mostly from single 2000AD issues or two-parters, so 6 to 12 pages each. All script are credited to John Wagner, heading towards the end of his second-wind stretch as full-time Dredd writer. There’s an amazing spread of artists, some already established, some on their way up, and a few names it’s a shame we don’t still see.

There’s a major Dredd lore pivot with the first sight of the Lawgiver Mk II, and the start of a running joke about the spirit of Judge Death possessing the actors who play him in a tourist trap. The only major misstep is 8-part serial The Scorpion Dance, a warm-up to “The Doomsday Scenario”, one of the weakest of the Dredd epics and collected in full in the next Case Files volume. Veteran artist John Burns turns in his typical, rushed-looking ink-and-wash, with his weird vintage vision of the future, the 22nd century as seen from the early 1970s, so more Gerry Anderson than the MCU.

If you’re here because you're “Dredd-curious”, or thanks to some algorithm-driven fluke, it might help to have some context.

Judge Joe Dredd first appeared over 45 years ago in long-running weekly UK comic 2000AD, and as of 2023 the latest Case Files reprints are a snapshot of the character as written 20 years ago. Late-1970s English punk and comedy culture are still embedded deeply in the spirit of these stories.

Dredd is a heavily armed cop in a parody future, after an “atomic war”. The world’s urban spaces have been smushed into nation-scale “mega-cities”, surrounded by radioactive wastelands where life is cheap and mostly a mash-up of the Wild West, Planet of the Apes and Mad Max 2. In Mega-City One hundreds of millions of absurd, eccentric, alternative-lifestyle civilians are packed into super-high-rise buildings and constantly on the edge of an urban PTSD called “future shock”. All antisocial behaviour is a crime, and the Judges keep order thanks to the right to deliver on-the-spot and absurdly disproportionate sentences up to and including “standard execution”.

The world-building is based entirely on "just because" story convenience with nods to internal continuity, not logic. It's a near-future with high technology that still relies on the Soylent Green idea of recycling the dead for resources. Mega-City One is a pressure cooker where humans are forced to live in such psychologically damaging density that they tolerate a police state, but there's also interstellar travel into a wider galactic community. Mutants from the Cursed Earth wasteland are feared and hated but all shapes and sizes of space aliens visit and even live in MC1, in inconsistent states of poverty or privilege, tolerance or prejudice.

2000AD has always kept the old school format of a UK anthology comic with 5 or more stories of 3 to 6 pages each, every week. Most early Dredd stories were 5 or 6 page eyeball-kicks of all-lean-meat, no-fat, “done-in-one” episodes, and this style is the still backbone of these reprints from 20 years later.

Since the early days there’s also been a tradition of “Judge Dredd epics”, a long-form adventure that can run for months. At first these were still mainly done-in-one or done-in-two weekly episode stories linked by a secondment or journey to a new setting, leaving Mega-City One to cross the wasteland outside or travel into outer space. Later they’d become long-running “arcs”, and mainly disaster movie soap operas.

Thanks to changes of publisher and editorial teams, the quality of 2000AD content ebbs and flows. Dredd rides this out better than most, and I’d say Case Files volume 29 draws from the crest of his second wind, after the peak of crazy energy in the earliest stories and the depths of the notorious Dark Times of the 1990s. It’s a stretch of quietly assured maturity under the last of its old school print-corporate owners before prog 1200 when the current owners, video game company Rebellion, took the reins.

Not the strongest stories ever but still a good collection of Dredd at his sternest. This lacks the true great epic but quite strong

I'm a big fan of the Judge Dredd series of films based of the Progs from 2000 AD and have started to read this omnibus series of the collected series from 2000 AD. I gave this Kindle volume 4 out of 5 stars because though the title is right the cover of the edition is wrong as it has Case Files 30 rather then Case Files 29.
